Protesters from Just Stop Oil have sprayed orange paint around the front of Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, central London, in the organisation's latest demonstration calling for an end to new oil and gas.

Two people were arrested after store on Brompton road was sprayed orange

Around 20 protesters gathered in Brompton Road at 9am on Thursday, with many gluing themselves to the road, blocking traffic.

A video shared on their Twitter page shows protesters spraying their distinctive orange paint on the windows of the luxury shop, as members of the public can be heard asking "what are you doing?"

A second video shared online appears to show Harrods security staff taking those spraying paint inside the store.

The Metropolitan Police said specialist officers are in the process of removing protesters from the road, adding two people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
